Inventory
- I talked to Justin (Toolik manager) about the canopy tent. We agreed that we can build it without asking BLM (quote: “better ask for forgiveness than permission”). He will let us know if BLM comes visit - if so, we will pack everything. The plan is for Anssi and I to build it tomorrow. It’s going to rain Wed/Thur/Fri so we can make sure it’s waterproof before we install instruments in it.
- O3 sonde prep unit + O3 sondes (x2) + NOAA laptop: LAB1.
- Helium tanks for balloon (balloon grade): 3 large ones + 1 smaller one.
- Kestrel in Box#2 (warm storage).
- Kestrel works with 1 AA battery.
- Cold storage (south entrance): CPS is currently using the building for construction work/storage. They’re leaving Toolik on June 6th. I’ll check with them if we can use the building before that to store the balloon.
